AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND FOOD SECURITY AS A FACTOR OF CHANGES IN ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTS STRUCTURE AND PLANNING OF URBANIZED TERRITORIES IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Food security is the of the most important basic human needs. The sphere of agricultural production affects direct or indirect ways to the settlement system, density, socio-demographic parameters. It affect on typology and appearance of agricultural buildings and edifices also. In the past, the size of the city was limited by local food opportunities. Despite the increase in agricultural production every year, natural renewable resources are depleted faster than they can be restored. It is very likely that after 2050 the world ecological collapse may begin. The result will be the inability to feed even half the human population.Active development of food production at the local level it is necessary to prevent such a catastrophic scenario. It will significantly reduce losses during storage and transportation of food, create closed cycles, where waste will be one of the elements of the ecosystem. Much of
agricultural production must be located in an anthropogenic environment – an artificial landscape created by human.
Local food production will significantly affect on urban planning structure of settlements and visualmorphological structure of architectural objects. Local agricultural production should become a key element of food security. Area vulnerability degree should be primarily determination of urban agricultural production share. Local agro-climatic, energy and technological opportunities will determine the possibility of self-sufficiency in food at the local level. Agrophotovoltaics can become a main landscape-creating element of medium and large cities suburban areas. Integration of agrostuctures in buildings and edifices is possible at various scales and ways.
Synergy of energy, agricultural production and waste recycling will be one of the 5–7 key structural planning principles for all architectural objects. Local food production capacity will limit the maximum size of megacities and contribute to a more dispersed settlement structure. information technology and networks is key elements in ensuring of this today. We should actively provide and implement a new solution of variety projects because window of opportunity may be significantly smaller than expected.
